It's generally easy to be environmentally friendly around the house when you live on your own and you own your own home, but it can get a little more complicated when you're a renter, as many of us are. Worse still, when you share a house with people who aren’t environmentally friendly or sustainable at all. Their lazy actions make your bills increase and you’re left to foot the bill. If you’re like me, it probably drives you crazy when your housemate leaves the light on after they leave the house and won’t even use the recycling bin. Seriously, how easy is it to recycle these days? So how do you make a lazy flatmate change their habits and be a little more sustainable and eco-savy?

This list includes current federal and state rebates and grants. There may also be rebates and grants available from local councils. Retailers of solar panels/hot water and rainwater tanks should also know about rebates. We haven't listed remote region rebates - see the state sites below to check if any are available.
